DecioProbably the oldest variety in existence, thought to date back to Roman times

DeliciousOne of the most famous and important American apple varieties. The original Delicious has a flavor that many find superior to the numerous sports such as Red Delicious that have been developed from it.

King Charles PearmainAn attractive 19th century pearmain-shaped apple with a dull golden yellow skin. The flesh is firm, fairly juicy, and strongly flavoured.

King of the PippinsA good early/mid-season dual-purpose variety, thought to originate from 18th century France (where it is known as Reine de Reinettes) but widely grown in England since Victorian times.

Miller's SeedlingA small early-season English apple, popular in late Victorian times.

Mollie's DeliciousA very good to excellent early apple ripening. Fruits are large to very large, conical in shape with a pinkish red color. Has an exceptionally pleasing aftertaste. This quality can be maintained in storage for at least 10 weeks under refrigeration.

OpalA modern apple from the Czech Republic, related to Golden Delicious and Topaz.

Opal (Seabrook)An early-season English apple, with very similar qualities to one of its parents, Worcester Pearmain.

OpalescentA popular large New England apple, sweet, crunchy, juicy, hint of strawberries - a well-flavoured apple.

OrioleAn early-season American apple from the University of Minnesota.

Ozark GoldVery similar to Golden Delicious. Flavor is sweet, honeyed, very juicy with little acidity.

Peasgood's NonsuchHighly esteemed culinary apple. Large pale yellow-green fruit, deepening to orange-yellow with short stripes of bright red and some russet patches. Good acid-sweet flavor, cooks to a froth.

Rosemary RussetA classic English russet apple from the Victorian era, though not as well known as its contemporaries.

RubinolaA mid-season disease-resistant variety from the Czech Republic, with a very good flavor.

Saint EverardOne of the more unusual Cox-derived apples, Saint Everard is the result of Cox pollinated by a well-regarded old English variety, Margil. As might be expected it has a high quality aromatic flavour. However it suffers from the cultural difficulties of Cox's Orange Pippin and did not achieve commercial success.

Sans PareilAn English apple variety from the Victorian era, or possibly earlier, with a good flavour, deserves to be more widely grown.

ScrumptiousA new early-season English dessert apple, with very good flavour.

ShenandoahQuite similar to its parent Opalescent, and a pleasant sweet apple in its own right

Crab apples

It is worth remembering that many (but not all)crab apple trees make excellent pollinators for almost any apple variety. This is because they produce very large quantities of pollen over a long period and are (with some exceptions) only distantly related to mainstream apple varieties so their pollen is highly compatible.
